WWDC 2023 Apple Event Live Keynote Coverage: Headset, iOS 17, New Macs, and More

[Johnny907]

The only enticing use case for me was on long flights, but that's it.

 

[votdfak]

These look so mf dorky... and primitive like any other similar product

 

[TheYayAreaLiving 🎗️]

Ouch! This is insane. Now whos ready to spend $3499 next year?

 

[The Mercurian]

I want to go back to the 90s 😿

There will be an app for that

 

[_Spinn_]

Sorry Tim I am not excited at all. You did not sell me on how this overcomes any of the flaws of existing headsets.

 

[Realityck]

This show wore me out, Apple you should be congratulated on the most intense keynote I have ever witness. Whew! Awesome!

 

[scottish]

This thread will be fun to read back in 10 years time.

 

[BornAgainMac]

That's half of a down payment on a new home

Lol, not where I live.

 

[Kylo83]

Not happy with the keynote nothing makes me want anything now, and 3500 for a headset that doesn’t even have vr games it’s just a big screen

 

[Oblivious.Robot]

Tim Cook better mention his legacy to be of the Apple Watch or actual magical Airpods instead of these.

 

[ISignedUpToAskThis]

Ok, $3499 actually seems reasonable for what it offers. Damn. In hindsight, the price makes sense.

May be the case but it is doomed to fail - only a certain group of consumers are going to be able to afford it. If people have $3500 to spent on tech the priority for most would be a new Mac or big TV, not something like this which is very much a luxury product.

 

[LIVEFRMNYC]

Always amazed by how shortsighted some people are if it does everything they say they got it right, but V1 is too expensive.

Yea, it's definitely a great start and brings more competition into the AR/VR space.

 

[Stevenyo]

The seats aren't wide enough to account for flailing arms 😂 (But I agree it looked cool on the plane.)

Who is flailing their arms to watch a movie? If anything this results in so much more space, so many fewer laptops coming out, or traytables going down. We just put on our headsets, lean back and enjoy high quality in flight entertainment!

That and immersive meditation for me.

 

[Aston441]

Notice not once is the Vision Pro shown outside…

Wonder if it's waterproof?

Apple Care ++++++++ $1299

 

[Scott6666]

I remember spending $5k for a gray Apple laptop in like 1989 with a large track ball

That's only if you don't need the custom inserts and prescription lenses. I can imagine them easily adding another 1000 onto things if you're lucky.

 

[naturalstar]

I would not walk around with these on. At home, on a flight, in the office - stationary locations.

I wouldn't even use these in open public spaces until they became ubiquitous.

 

[justperry]

My man. Grolsch has been my jam since college.

It's almost divine, ok, down to earth, its great.

Maybe you did not get the joke, I posted the beer post in the beginning of the keynote.



Got only 1

 

[johto]

And the stock is back down. The Street is spooked about the price. Can't say I'm surprised, though. This is Apple.

Yeah, i was thinking..maybe $1500 ..but then again, this gadged uses top new stuff....so...

 

[LIVEFRMNYC]

So what's the software going to be called, VisionOS?

 

[TVreporter]

$1,499?

That's probably the Apple Care cost!

 

[tubular]

Well, this is round one of their headset, and we all knew it was going to be eye-stingingly expensive. The next question is: what's the consumer model look like, what does it cost, and when will we get it?

 

[Janichsan]

… on long flights, …

With that battery life?

 

[topdrawer]

i doubt you need lenses if you are myopic.
